Maybe more like a Maoist beating a Trotskyite.

This is some of her to do list:

By taking on the NRA, stopping the flow of illegal guns, and treating our gun epidemic like the public health crisis it is. By protecting our environment and fighting climate change. By improving ALL of our schools. By fighting for equitable, affordable, and high-quality childcare. By investing in multimodal, pedestrian and cyclist-friendly transit infrastructure

Socialists are not yet mainstream but they will lead the Democrats in a different direction.

America has never had a socialist or social democratic party like many European countries have.

Until now...

These young progressives aren't stupid. They are hungry, they want in, they want the perks, and they want the power.

Pelosi is a fool to think they were just going to be loyal pets, to only bring out their various leftist kook groups on election day and then meekly go back in the background, while Pelosi and her cronies divvy up the spoils.

Bernie Sanders is in control of the Democrat Party. They are all in on Marxism, and it doesn't matter what happens in November. Pelosi will have zero power.

The Dems are so busy fighting Trump, Bernie’s people just take their seats. I can’t wait until they try to fend the Berns off. It won’t happen this cycle, but it is coming.

Let me preface this by saying this is a GOOD thing. Why? Because the longer a dem is in office, the more knowledge he/she/it accrues as to the ability to screw the system from the inside. Now that we got mindless sycophants who have ideologically idiotic talking points in Congress, without the know-how of actually executing their power, the ability for the people on the right, IF THEY ARE IN THE MAJORITY, to control the actual levers of power is multiplied greatly.

In addition, their communist approach is in the open for all to see. This is key.

I’m pretty sure she’ll win 2/3 of the votes for speaker or just miniority leader if we are very lucky. More problems can come from Cortez or whatever her name is because she will be running and saying things that people will pay attention to.

Just once I'd like a democrat to take a page from a RINO who loses to a conservative challenger and white about it while not supporting the nominee. Not that we even have a Republican running in this heavily rat seat.

The White Boston bigwigs that hate Blacks must be horrified!!! Lol.

Yes and in Maine’s CD-2 they are running a vet as well.
The Republican incumbent won the district 2 years ago by about 10 points.

Thankfully,Massachusetts has less and less clout in Congress as time passes.Hopefully we’ll lose yet another House seat in 2020.

It’s 2018, and she will be “the first person of color Massachusetts sends to the United State House of Representatives”.

The Red Sox were the last MLB team to integrate in 1959.

Yet it is the Red State folks that are being portrayed as racist. What a joke.

Michael Capuano is as far left as they come.

Problem is, he’s too white - just like Crowley.
